Status comment:

Description Josu 2022-01-21 02:52:25 CET 
Description of problem: VAAPI encoding is unusable in Shotcut due to the use of ,connection_type=x11 argument when invoking ffmpeg and MLT. 
The proposed patch to source file src/docks/encodedock.cpp is shared in the URL above (remove ",connection_type=x11" from line 2073 and erase line 811). 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 21.12.24-1.mga9, other versions may be patched appart similarly as problem appears to be old (see https://github.com/mltframework/shotcut/issues/771). 


How reproducible: Open Shotcut, try to detect HW encoders using 'Use hardware decoder'-Configure in export tab. VAAPI not detected even if present. Ignore that and go on configuring export using h264_vaapi or other xxx_vaapi supported codec, once 'export archive' executed and listed in tasks list on the right, it will immediately fail.  


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open shotcut and make a project to export it. 
2.Try to detect hardware encoders using export tab (under 'Export help' there is a 'Use hardware encoder' item and a button to make hw encoders detected.   
3.Try to export your project to a h264_vaapi mp4 file.

Thank you for the report, with its detailed explanation and the link to the necessary patch to cure the problem.

DavidG looks best to handle this, but CC'ing also ghibo who may be able to help.
Unsure whether 'MGA8TOO' applies. Without complaint, perhaps not.

Is this issue still valid with current mixxx-2.3.6-1.mga9 ?
Comment 3 David GEIGER 2024-02-19 17:28:27 CET 
Ouppps sorry it is:

Is this issue still valid with current shotcut-21.12.24-4.mga9?
Comment 4 David GEIGER 2024-02-19 18:58:00 CET 
Finally I updated shotcut to version 23.11.04 on mga9 and switch it to Qt6, and also mlt to 7.20.0 as it is required for shotcut.

I still get that

I use h264_vaapi and the conversion finish well
